Workplace Lessons Smart People Wish They'd Learned Sooner

Reports this morning say that Arsene Wenger doesn’t want Thierry Henry for a short-term loan in January. He wants him to stay for the rest of the season.

Arsenal and Thierry Henry’s club, the New York Red Bulls have already agreed a six-week loan for Henry starting January 1.

But Arsene Wenger wants more and wants to keep Henry until May. The problem with that, is that would mean that Henry would miss around a third of the MLS season, which kicks-off in March. Something the Red Bulls are not likely to approve.

Henry is back in London and trained with the Gunners for three days last week and according to some people who saw those sessions, Henry looked in much better shape than he was last season.

Henry was a pleasant surprise last season, but is he really the answer to Arsenal’s goal scoring woes? And if Wenger is looking at Henry, does that mean that Arsenal will not be bringing in another striker like Klaas-Jan Huntelaar in January?

That was my method this time ! The tanks were basically “Meat Shields” ! As long as the adds were all around me, the dragon couldn’t engage and was simply moving, trying to get closer but without succeeding !

My whole party had their Ranged Weapons equipped, even the tanks engaged with the adds, and EVERYBODY was targeting BIG DADDY ! Everybody but… the priest behind ! No i wanted him to cast his prayers against Paralysis, and to cast Group Bonus to Accuracy, Attributes and Deflection.

The secret was in the summons ! And on that particular case, my chanter played a fabulous role ! Kana leveled to lvl 14 as i said at the beginning… and he got his “6 phrases” summon where i chosen the Swamp Spore ! God this plant can turn the tide of battles as it did for this one !

The adds were surrounding me, the dragon couldn’t engage me, waiting for Kana to reach his 6 phrases i was summoning a wizard clone, or using one of my summoning artifacts (wurms… adra beetle… shadows… whatever !) to distract the dragon behind… And then Kana was ready ! Popped up the Swamp Spore and began to target the Ice Blights, which are… vulnerable to Domination

I began to target and dominate every ice blights on the screen ! And what’s good is that domination spell is sticking for a long time ! So the dragon was annoyed by his own adds. When the swamp spore duration was over… i simply created a wizard clone or simply used one my summoning artefacts to distract the dragon until… kana was ready once more to Pop up another Swamp Spore !

Hi there? Today in this post I am going to tell you where you can buy stamps. Trust me, its really easy to buy one but many people face difficulties in finding the right store for this job.

Let me share a story, a very good long distance friend of mine went on a 3 week vacation at Mauritius. She wanted to share the whole experience of her trip with me through out the words; She is fond of writing letters because she work as a writer in a big company.

The postcard was ready but the only thing which got her stuck was the postal stamp; she was really confused like where she can buy a stamp now? I can totally imagine her situation because in the modern era we youngsters are far away from our traditional methods.

We all are addicted of using latest technologies for sharing our experiences.

While, she was trying to get a postal stamp I tried making online searches and luckily I found a helpful guide which was totally on the topic of where can I buy stamps. This tutorial was entirely dedicated to the stamps issue.

I was glad once to see so many options for buying stamps, then the next thing I do was sent the website link to my friend, she too found it helpful and was able to buy a stamp for the postcard.

There are lot of people who are not use to the modern technologies and still uses the traditional methods of getting their words conveyed, but its a sad reality that we are forgetting them.

We are busy in building latest technologies but let us think about them at least once, we should make these stamps readily available so that they do not face any kind of difficulties in buying stamps and sending their postcard to their dear ones.

It would not be wrong to say that the modern technologies has silently killed the traditional mediums of communication, but we are the youngsters and its our duty to keep our elder ones happy by keeping their traditions safe and sound.

In regards to this I am thinking to run a gofund campaign for making these stamps readily available in every corner of a street so that an old man never have to face any trouble again to buy a stamp.

It was my friend who made me think about this topic, I never thought about these stamps but after digging into search results I realized how hard it can be to find a store which sells stamps for an aged man or woman.

Below is a video which go in detail about the evolution of communication, its a must-must watch video if you have doubts regarding the mediums of communications.

To improve our overall physique we must build lean muscle and burn fat a famous bodybuilder popularly known as Ben Pakulski created a fitness program which broke all the records, make sure you read his program Mi40 reviews. To accomplish both simultaneously let’s forget about weight training combined with traditional cardio for a moment. The most effective method to burn fat and build muscle at the same time is using HIIT or high intensity interval training and more specifically the Tabata intervals protocol.

Tabata intervals are named after Dr. Izume Tabata who published a study in 1996 on an interval training protocol used by olympic speed skaters. The idea is to go all out for 20 seconds, slow down or rest 10 and repeat 7 more times for a total of 8 interval sets. Sounds easy but trust me Tabatas are extremely intense. In fact, when it was first used by the olympic speed skaters most couldn’t get past 7 sets.

Watch this video, its really helpful

The great thing is during the study by Dr. Tabata found that aerobic and anaerobic capacity were improved significantly. After 6 weeks VO2 max, the ability to burn oxygen increased by 14%, one of the highest increases ever reported in exercise science, while anaerobic capacity increased by, get this, 28%. To put this in perspective a traditional cardio only group tested during the study increased VO2 max by 10% with no gain in anaerobic capacity.

If those numbers don’t impress you they should. The traditional group’s total workout time averaged 60 minutes while the group that performed the Tabata protocol took only about 15 minutes (10 minutes of warm up and 4 minutes of intervals). That’s right, assuming you’re warmed up a 4 minute workout is all it takes.

The word you’re looking for is, wow! That’s an incredible finding that could change the way we all approach exercise.

Tabata intervals can be performed in a variety of ways, with weights, cardio machines, body weight exercises, wind sprints, etc. The most effective exercises employ large muscle groups. Squats and thrusters using light weight are good candidates. I can’t emphasize the light weight enough. When you try your first set you may want to do body weight squats, or air squats as some people call them, until you get a feel for your personal limits.

Avoid exercises that require a long setup. It makes it that much more difficult to maintain the 20 on 10 second off interval. For instance if it takes 3 seconds to get into position you’re losing either rest or work time.

Two years ago, a scientist declared that there was evidence that a Boots face cream did decrease the appearance of wrinkles. The public reacted by buying up five-months’ worth of stock on the cream within one day. Now, two years since that first announcement, Professor Griffiths’ team showed evidence that the cream works. The cream was found to increase fibrillin, which promotes elasticity in the skin, making it smoother.

But don’t rush out to buy that cream. Though the study showed that the cream increased fibrillin, it did not state how much or in what percentage of people. However, less than 50% showed improvement in their wrinkles. Nearly 25% of people showed improvement using a regular moisturiser. The study only looked at one brand from Boots pharmacy, but the researchers feel that similar products would probably show similar results. Nevertheless, he felt that prescription creams with retinoic acid are probably even better.

Whether you feel a 25% improvement over the use of regular moisturisers is enough justification for the extra expense of buying the special formula, then you can find it at Boots. The cream will be renamed No.7 Protect & Perfect Intense Beauty Serum. It was previously called No.7 Refine & Rewind Beauty Serum. Perhaps, the best therapy is prevention by avoidance of the sun (or tanning beds).

We are living in a tan-obsessed world. I would certainly welcome it when pale comes back into fashion, although that is highly unlikely. Tanning is so prevalent, despite all the health risks, that unless a lot more Hollywood starlets start sporting a beautiful, but fair, complexion, it will never go out of fashion.

Yet, it seems some people tan as if it WAS going out of fashion. The fact that some people fell for the farce of tanning through their computer shows how desperate people are to get a tan. Now, there is a new injectable drug, called Melanotan. Although this stuff is unlicensed in the UK, it is available, and people have taken advantage of it. Despite experts’ advice against use of the drug, due to its side effects and the fact that it is untested and unlicensed. They also worry that some people are reusing needles in order to inject themselves, which creates further problems. Now, they are urging retailers not to sell them. Yet, the product is available on the internet, so that all sales cannot be prevented.

Studies have shown that tanning can cause many skin problems, from cosmetic to cancerous, yet people do not seem to heed the warnings. They are constantly on the search for “safer” means to tan. But, there has not been any means that have been considered “safe”, yet people have not given up tanning for pleasure.

I cannot see what is so attractive in someone looking like a lobster, as a prelude to a beautiful tan. Or, those who tan so often in the tanning beds that they no longer look like their own race. Not everyone is attractive in dark skin.

Poor Prince Charles. There’s never enough controversy for the Royal family. Now, his herbal line is under attack for unscientific claims. Several months ago, studies were reported which showed that detoxification claims by various supplements were unfounded. Scientists had warned the public of the dangers of using these agents on the grounds that they were ineffective.

In fact, scientists find that many substances are claimed to have detoxification effects, but what is meant by these detoxification effects has never been revealed. Prince Charles has long been an advocate of complementary medicine and a champion of organic agriculture, so it is not surprising to find that he has his own line of herbal supplements, called Duchy Herbals. Although not all supplements in his line are under attack, his Duchy Herbals Detox Tincture is. It is supposedly made from artichoke and dandelion, but it unclear how these two natural products act as a detox agent.

Charles fiercest critic is Dr. Edzard Ernst, who accused the Prince of ‘outright quackery’. He uses strong words to express his outrage that this royal personage would promote something so unscientific to poor unsuspecting victims. (And to charge lots of money for it as well.) He fears that the public may be led to believe they can overindulge on bad things, then be able to clean themselves out with the detox agents. But the prince’s problems do not stop there. His herbal claims are now under investigation by the Advertising Standards Authority.

Though I do not believe the ‘detoxing’ claims by supplements, I doubt that the Duchy Herbals Detox Tincture is downright harmful. That is, if it really is made from artichokes and dandelions. That part is always in dispute once an herbal agent is turned into some supplement. That’s why I would always advocate that anyone wishing to use a supplement should just turn to the real thing. Why not eat real artichokes and dandelions? I’m sure it’s much more nutritious. I know it may sound crazy to eat dandelions, but dandelion leaves are supposed to be delicacies in salads served in posh restaurants.

I see the whole Duchy Herbal row as a comedy. However, I would warn anyone against believing all the claims from herbal supplements. They should always consult with their doctors before using them, and inform their doctors afterwards, as many supplements have interactions with other medications. Most of all, it has been shown that detoxification agents have no basis for their claims.

I have pointed to all the dangers of not getting enough sleep, but I was surprised to find that some study in the past had pointed to an association between disrupted or lack of sleep and cancer risk. How they discovered this, I have no idea. But the fact that there was a link between working late night hours (or night shifts), which causes the disrupted sleep pattern, and the risk of cancer has now led to Denmark compensating women who worked night shifts and developed cancer. Of course, only those women who demonstrat that the cancer was caused by working night shifts and no other causes are the ones getting the compensation.

There is a theory that melatonin, which is produced by the brain in response to sunlight, has some protection against cancer. For those working night shifts, the production of melatonin is suppressed, which makes them vulnerable to developing cancer. So far, it appears that the women being compensated are those who developed breast cancer. It is still unclear, however, what role melatonin plays in breast cancer protection.

So, in addition to getting adequate sleep, now we must ensure that we sleep at the right time. Which means that those in financial hardships may have to give up their night jobs if they have to protect their health. For, if they are not healthy, they cannot work.
